Rapid Release Therapy (RRT)

What is it?

Rapid Release Therapy (RRT) is the latest in therapeutic technology focused on relief of soft tissue problems affecting nerves, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. RRT was created to deliver vibrational therapy using a very high frequency with a very small stroke, thus producing fast, lasting results. In addition, this frequency is in a range that is known to relax muscle guarding or spasms.

How does it work?

Tonic vibration reflex – The tonic vibration reflex, named by is a sequence of responses within the neuromusculoskeletal system that is triggered when a muscle or muscles is/are contracted and is stimulated through high frequency vibration. Evidence from acute direct vibration studies suggests that an excitatory response to the muscle fibers creates an uncoupling of co-contracted muscles (Echlin and Fessard, 1938). Scar tissue that is formed in our joints due to chronic wear and tear or direct trauma can also trap nerve irritation, thus creating pain. Vibration therapy can target this scar tissue in the joints to reduce irritation to the trapped nerves and improve blood flow to stimulate soft-tissue healing.

Who can it help?

RRT can be beneficial to those suffering with repetitive stress injuries such as tendonopathy as well as muscle strains or ligament sprains. However, the treatment can also prove potentially beneficial for injury prevention and improved performance.

Results of the study showed that participants using RRT for injury treatment reported the average number of sessions required to reach “significantly better” was 4. Of those participants opting for pre and post workout treatments, 100% reported the sessions to be moderately or very helpful.
